The fact that someone died is a tragedy that cannot be overlooked. HOWEVER, let's be real for a second.It is horrific, but do I blame the fraternities that sponsored the party that night, the answer is no, and neither should her parents, or the school. Yes, I agree that there should have been discipline handed down, but the fact we are a university that was just beginning to finally be considered on the rise, we have to have a strong greek life here to even begin to compete with the other larger schools to draw more people in. Like it or not Greek life is a strong consideration for people choosing a college experience, and if the school continues to try to change the entire scope of greek life, which is a long time tradition, then not only greek life will suffer for it, but Texas State as a whole will. There were so many people to blame that night, yes it should have been watched closer, but I seriously doubt she showed up to that party by herself. What happened to the people she was with that night, that absolutely did not watch out for her. Parties get big,parties get out of control, Most fraternities do their best to keep it as safe as possible but accidents do happen. She got ran over, and that is horrific, but the truth is she could have been ran over even if she was sober. Quit using it as an example of what is wrong with our greek life system here, It could have happened on any campus across America. I am sorry if it sound callous or cold but it is the truth. The president of TXST is just using it as an excuse because the faculty here wants to get rid of Greek life.
